By pressing the [OK] button the user is prompted to either con-
firm or negate the question “Accept parameter?” By pressing the 
[No] button you will quit the plateau measurement parameters 

entry mode and any modifications made will be cancelled. To 

adopt the new plateau measurement parameters, press [Yes] and 

the plateau parameter entry mode is quit automatically. 

8.1.3

 

Starting a plateau measurement 

Once the user has pressed the “Start measurement” button, the 
Program checks whether a stored plateau has been loaded and the 

displayed plateau parameters are up-to-date. In the event that the 

displayed parameters are no longer the current ones, the current 

plateau parameters will be displayed and the user is prompted to 
start the measurement process. Then an “identification text” needs 
to be entered. This identification text is shown in the title box and 

is saved together with the plateau. It serves to later identify the 

plateau measurement.

Plateau identification text 

 

After completing the entry of the identification text, the value of 

the high voltage is first set to its start value and a there is a 6 sec-

ond wait during the stabilization period. Then the first individual 

measurement is started.
